“Minute analysis of individual characters, their consistency and temperaments, is carried a little too far for any but the devoted admirers who have every one of Miss Austen’s novels firmly in remembrance.”

FISCHER, HERBERT ALBERT LAURENS. Studies in history and politics. *$5.65 Oxford 904
20–11671
“When the Right Honorable Herbert Fisher took up the onerous duties of a Minister of the crown on the British Educational board ... the heavy labors in the service of the English youth left him little time for writing and research. The studies collected in his latest volume are, therefore, not new, but are reprints of various magazine articles written, for the most part, between five and ten years ago, though here and there retouched and supplemented. Three of the eleven essays deal with French politics; three with the history of history; two with Napoleon; one with British imperial administration; one with the value of small states; and one with the resurgence of Prussia.”—Nation
